[1] On 6 March 2014, Hairol convicted seven armed individuals who banded together and plundered homes to long prison terms with several whippings at the High Court.

[3] After twenty witnesses, including representatives from the Royal Customs and Excise Department and the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB), testified during the trial, deputy public prosecutors proved their case beyond a reasonable doubt.

On 21 August 2014, Steven Chong and Hairol rendered their decision and sentenced the Kenyan woman to death for trafficking 3 kilograms (6.6 lb) of methylamphetamine worth over B$2 million on the illicit market.

[4] Before being named attorney general on 9 August 2018,[5] Hairol served as a judge on the High Court and responded negatively when asked if the scandal (Ramzidah and Nabil Daraina) had undermined public trust in the judiciary.

He continued by saying that, in part because of the corruption issue, the Attorney General's Chamber (AGC) changed the Penal Code in October to increase the penalty for criminal breach of trust.
